Finally! The cholestrol laden delicacy was re-visited, after a hiatus of ...well not too long but it was 14 months ago since we had this.
It started with a photography trip to the south, and no trip is complete without a stopover at the Seremban Market (Pasar Besar). It is was not the exactly the best tourist spot but it is must stop and visit for any road traveller. As like most markets, this one is no exception, with the colourful array of vegeatables, fruits, poultry and what-nots for sale. All sold in harmony together with various ah sohs, makciks, sinnama and aunties. What pulls me to this place is not the sell-wares but the food-ware.
Never fail will I have my breakfast in the market whenever my "legs" are with me. Besides the usual array of beef noodles, meehoon sotong, one other delicacy that I have fond memories of is the chu-mong-yau-chuen-kuen (in cantonese). Litterally translated - pork lard netting "sausage". This is one childhood dish which evokes fond memories of mum's cooking.
If you have the time and the culinary adventure, stop by and have a hearty break first before you continue your journey.
Located at the first floor of the market, look for stall number 767.
The table is full of Hakka dishes, from the traditional chu-keok-choh (vineger pork trotters), pig's blood, braised pork are just a few to name. 
The price for each piece in Dec 2008 when I had it was RM7.00 per piece.
An advice to heed when visiting the market - throw out the word cholestrol from your vocabulary when you are here. Enjoy your food but in moderation.
